Failboattootoot posted:I really loving hate Skellige. Whoever thought up all the sirens and boats having hp so they leave you stranded in the middle of loving nowhere is an rear end in a top hat. Also why even put all these smuggler caches out here? Tiresome. Also even ignoring boats and middle of nowhere shitholes, the terrain is such where Roach becomes almost useless since he gets caught on everything and can't run up slopes like Geralt can. Just crossbow them while on the boat everything dies in 2 hits its super easy.

So I think my savegame I imported from W2 didn't load properly. In every playthrough I did of W2 I spared Letho and saved Aryan LaVallete. But I cleared out Reardon's manor without finding Letho and (I assume) the one point where you might meet Aryan he isn't there. When I do a second playthrough I am going to just do the questionaire instead.

Anyone here using a DS4 with inputmapper(set to emulating a 360 controller)? Can't seem to get the game to recognize that it exists at all. loaded the game up with it wired, changed to wireless and now it works

poptart_fairy posted:Ayup. I unequipped the arrow parry ability because of that - can't parry it if the drat things are hitting when you're considered out of combat. It's still really good in combat range - active parrying an arrow back into an archer's face and instantly killing him is brutally cool. I just think if you have a sword out, you should be in combat mode and if its sheathed, you should be in witcher mode.

Is fistfighting always the same as killing outside the actual fistfighting quests? I ran into some guys I thought were assholes but not worth killing and I punched them all out because they were weak and lovely, but the combat log says they died. Jeez Geralt, show a little self-restraint.

I also had a candid convo with him in Loc Muinne in W2 before the Enhanced Edition came out and thought he was even cooler (totally forget the conversation though). Now he is nuts He was always nuts, you just didn't choose the story threads that let you see him when he thinks nobody is watching.

Vehementi posted:I know well the little knee high pond & boat everyone's getting stuck in... I also fell into that pond, but after enough time I managed to get out somehow. I was pretty persistent, since I hadn't saved in a while.

I just think if you have a sword out, you should be in combat mode and if its sheathed, you should be in witcher mode. That is definitely pretty satisfying, but instead of waiting for him to shoot the arrow and hoping I time it perfectly for the block, it's faster just to run up to him and cut him down.

Radovid proposes in all seriousness to marry Anais La Valette, a girl who is like 25-30 years younger than him, just to strengthen his claim on Temeria. Then goes and attacks his other ally anyway, because politics is boring when you can just take poo poo. Regardless of the outcome of W2 he basically attacks whatever weakest link exists solely for his own benefit, and he was trying to marry his way into Temeria's throne all the way back in W1. Radovid is basically a huge opportunistic schemer and he's finally met his match in Emhyr because that guy is way better at it, and also has about ten times as many dudes.

So I did the possession quest in Skellige: So uhh, I threw the baby in the oven, because I felt it was going to be some sort of trick as the game described, and I wouldn't actually be doing something bad. They reveal the jarl's son to still be alive, but they never show the guy taking anything out of the oven. I guess the implication is somehow it was unharmed? To me it seemed like, in game logic, you didn't ACTUALLY do something bad, because uhh, that was some other baby you roasted? I don't get how the baby lived.

Isn't marrying into more land/power something you're supposed to do as a king, to try and avoid fighting for it?

Geralt, the Butcher of Blaviken, Master of evil staircases, slayer of monsters and renown all-nighter in Novigrads whorehouses - finds his cold and watery grave in a sunken ship, barely 30 yards from the shore. I hate this ship as well.

He's a guy with more balls than brains, but things have somehow worked out for him up to this point. He's become an even more insufferable cocky rear end in a top hat because of this, which is probably why he appears worse than in W1/2; his position is much better as "king of whatever remains of the Northern Kingdoms."

I loved that in my visit to Vizima when I was talking to the Diplomat after talking to Yen, he was all "In a move nobody expected, Radovid marched over the mountains in the winter and after winning a skirmish or two with Kaedweni troops, they capitulated. I was all  "that magnificent bastard" until I started hearing/seeing more and more that Radovid was nuts.

You're a witcher, I'm sure you'll manage." *Scent of roasting baby fills the room*
